I've asked this 6 or 7 years ago but is an NJGF BBQ a possibility?

I'm currently house hunting. If I can get the house I'm interested in I'll do a housewarming BBQ later in the summer. Hopefully catered since my BBQ skills are insufficient for throwing a BBQ!

I'd lend my BBQ and cooking skills...

I'd appreciate it. The hunt continues. Realtors are very crafty with their photography. The bedrooms were way too small and had no closet space. The backyard was extremely small too.

What area are you looking in?  Still up around Randolph?

Long Valley (Washington Twp), NJ. Her best friend has a daughter the same age, so we'd like to get them in the same school if possible. Finding city water, city sewer, natural gas and the district we want is the challenge.

You think that's bad? The house next door to me that's for sale, they CLEARLY photoshopped several of the pictures.  Realtors are becoming like used car salesmen.

I suggest you do it soon, the 870s are not as reliable or durable as 500s.  

That statement is ignorant. We have 870's in our inventory that are over 20 years old and that get fired way more than most people will ever shoot them.

Since Remington came out with the flex tab conversion in the 80s and made it standard I can't think of any gun related problems with 870s.  I remember exactly one that broke in about 30 years of being a LE firearms instructor.

I used to require my people to clean the barrel after quals and training and wipe the big chunks off.  A total clean once a year or if the gun was dropped in the mud, soaked in the rain, dropped in the water, or something like that.

FWIW I read a post by a guy in another forum who has been using a 870 to shoot clays for some time.  Can't remember what was the stimulus for this (maybe something broke) he figured out his round count.  He referred to a log he keeps and he had at least 50,000 rounds through the gun.

I'm not condemning Mossbergs as I have little experience with them.  If Mossbergs were junk they wouldnt sell as many as they do.  Just relating my experience with 870s.

Only thing wrong with an 870 is the location of the safety in my opinion. Not that it's wrong just a personal preference I will only own shotguns with a Tang safety as that's what I'm used to

And I've got way over 50K through a Mossberg 500 with only one broken part that caused it to fail. The extractor pin

      Yup I see. Looks like right now you can only purchase the 2023-2024 permit still. I assume won't be able to purchase 24-25 season permit until July.

      US Law Shield and email changes

      By Grima Squeakersen · Posted

      Just a heads-up for anyone who might also be in this situation. I joined USLS mid-April of 2022. Some time after renewing for 2023, I changed email providers, and dutifully reflected my new address on my account page. So, I have been anticipating renewal alerts at my new address, but those never arrived. I logged in to my account the other day, and was surprised to see that my subscription expired that same day. I went to my account main information page, confimed that my email address was correct, then went to the billing page, which showed my previous two payments, but which did not give me any apparent way to pay up for the new year. I requested support using the Customer Service form on the web site, but received no reply. Today I called their support number. Apparently changing the email address from my view of my account page did nothing to change the address that they use internally for billing purposes, including expiration notifications. Maybe they also use that address for replies to the support form, even if a different email address is entered there. Also, my account was set up to auto-renew and charge my credit card without my intervention, but that setting did not show on my account page in any obvious way. So, if you have USLS and have changed your email address since you last renewed, you might want to give them a call to ensure that they send renewal information to your correct address. The prospect of having legal coverage lapse while carrying in NJ was, for me, a less that confidence inspiring experience. I will note that the telephone-based customer service was excellent.

      Colorado Goes For Broke On Gun Ban

      By Grima Squeakersen · Posted

      F*n imbeciles. They know damned well (or should) that, even if passed by the Colorado Senate and signed into law, virtually that entire load of crap is certain to fail Bruen/Heller scrutiny, and probably sooner, rather than later (SCOTUS). What a monumental waste of time (of course, how much can a dip$h*t's time be worth, anyway?) and energy. I passed through Colorado a few times in the 70s, and visited some clients there in the 80's & 90's, and, even by the end of that period, I had the impression that it was politically fairly conservative (with a few exceptions such as Aspen). WTF happened?
